Neither can I. The four known factors which determine inharmonicity 
are wire stiffness (including that of the wrap wire in the bass), 
string tension, the shape of the string termination and the length of 
free string segment on the other side of the speaking length 
termination (ie. the duplex or counter-bearing string segment).
